Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolElysia Lucas is a Research Scientist and software engineer with eight years of experience building scientific and mission-critical tooling for space and astronomy operations. She has delivered end-to-end solutions—from exposure time calculators and archive data pipelines at Keck to automated radiometry calibration workflows at Maxar—often modernizing legacy systems by translating C/IDL and shell scripts into robust Python tools. Comfortable in both operations and development roles, she has run spacecraft contacts, implemented paging/alerting integrations, and automated telemetry/file transfers while documenting systems for broad team use. Based in Lafayette, Colorado, she pairs a deep applied-math background with hands-on AWS, Linux, and scripting expertise, and brings a musician’s discipline to collaborative, detail-oriented problem solving. An avid pianist and violinist with a taste for jazz and Bossa Nova, she actively seeks community music projects alongside space-focused work.
